I used to drink a lot of Coke. When I was in Viet Nam (1970). I drank a six pack, hot or cold, per day. That habit carried on for years, although, at some point I switched to Caffeine free Coca Cola Classic. In the last year, I've switched to green tea. I still drink an 8 ounce glass of CFCCC nearly every day, but casual drinking (non-alcoholic, now) is the tea.

I drink two cups of decaf a day. And lots of water. Since I started this regimen and working out every day, I've gained 10 pounds .

From what I've seen/read/been told, when you first start working out you will usually gain a little weight and then start to drop...new muscle growth and such..keep it up and be patient.

I started working out in November, gained a couple and have since dropped 25 lbs and 3 inches on the waist. My sister in law who is a naturalpathic doctor has a wicked bmi type computer/device and at Christmas/New Years I had gained 3lbs of lean muscle. To date, I've lost 25 lbs but have put on roughly 7lbs of lean muscle...

Hey Bren,I'm not gun enthusiast at all but I got to fire a couple of rounds from a Grizzly Winmag on the weekend. (I think that was the correct name.) I'm comfortable with shotguns and large rifles but I had never fired a handgun before. Starting with a .45 was a hell of an experience.

I was at a restaurant today and asked for a Cherry Coke. They didn't have it but offered to make me one. I figured, ok, Coke plus grenadine... Nope.It was about 70% regular Coke, 20% diet Coke, and 10% Mr. Pibb.
